Elephants eat everyday just like we do, but not the same way as us... elephants are herbivores. Thanks to this fact I found a different fact. Elephants eat by using their trunk to pick up their food. Elephants spend most of their day eating, they can also eat up to three - hundred pounds a day. This lead me to a matching fact. Elephants can only digest up to forty four percent of the vegetation they eat. Elephants eat all kinds of vegetation seeds, grass, branches, leaves, fruit, and tree bark. This made me find a different fact that kind of matches. Baby elephants drink their mom’s milk for up to three years. African elephants always travel great distances to find water and/or food. This lead me to another matching fact. In Mali, Africa, a parade of elephants migrate more than seven - thousand five - hundred square miles a year. Have you learned about how elephants eat and what they do to eat? Let’s hope you did!
